Things went to shit while Trump was still in office. There was a whole year Harris could have spent a lot more time reminding people about where prices made their biggest jumps and a million people died. And he told us to drink bleach.

99% sure Lemmy has a higher average age than any social media other than maybe facebook

I’m trying to imagine being one of those backstage people. How do you not feel sudden and intense fear when this guy says that to a huge crowd of morons? Do I already have to be one of those morons in order to agree to do setup for this guy’s rally?

And what about whoever’s doing setup for the next show? I would probably stop showing up for work…

The millions of years preceding modern medicine didn’t fix it, so I’m not sure how much time you eugenicists think evolution takes

I had one of these and somehow it also picked up a radio station, so no matter what I played it’d be mixed with some random techno music

I know I’m ducking under the joke here but I’m pretty sure that case is famous enough that lots of younger people would still get it

Maybe it’s just a tiny hatsune miku

Sounds objectively better than the current system where the weirdos get funded by billionaires and legitimized far more than the litany of normal candidates

They’re using “other” as a verb. “Othering” people, as in racism

Someday we’ll find out it’s been happening for years but the government doesn’t care enough to prosecute it.

I’m only half kidding. I mean, when was the last time a seriously rich person was convicted for murder?

Made him president and then graduated from support to worship while he actively worked to make everyone’s lives worse. Blaming Biden for handling the pandemic poorly the same way they blamed Obama for the 2008 crash. Sucks to suck, I guess.

He was also 10 feet tall and had four testicles.

I seriously doubt going to the center wins any votes in the general. The type of people who think conservative policy is good for society are gonna vote Republican no matter how stupid and fascist it is. “Shifting right wins over never Trumpers” is a line that works on people during the primary when everyone is on the left anyway, but in the end it’s an excuse to more deeply entrench the oligarchy and it turns off people who need something to be excited about in order to bother coming out for the general. Like, I can’t imagine young voters were happy to hear Harris at the debate talking about how she’s going to expand oil drilling.

Biden won because leftists were energized about getting Trump out of office, not because centrism won over conservatives. In fact, I think the centrism is why he was projected to lose this year! His presidency went fine considering the senate, but fact is he didn’t do a whole lot to get people interested. Gaffes and age notwithstanding, even a perfect public speaker wouldn’t have had much to work with. That’s why the switch to Harris got the poll numbers moving: it was a big move that got people engaged. But I firmly believe every move she makes to the center is doing more to turn off leftist voters than it is wresting people from the right.

Joel last of us

Takes 4+ years to prosecute a popular, rich traitor. Takes one day to screw over poor people. Gotta love justice.

At least Trump got convicted in NY, I guess…

I don’t remember anyone saying 10 was worse than 8. Maybe buggier on launch, but stylistically it worked more like 7 than 8 did

Our healthcare system is so efficient that after a hospital refuses to provide care thanks to religious nutjobs, the at-risk patient has to take a bucket and a towel and drive themselves to another hospital instead of being taken by an ambulance with actual medical personnel. Maybe they were just 10 grand short of being able to afford it.

Holy fuck.

Their name is Erika Ishii! They’re a great comedian too, they’ve made a lot of appearances on Dropout

They’re the type of people who click on Facebook ads
